Truman To Dpen American League

WABHINUTON, April ll-(AP) —8outh, Harry 8. Truman will open the American League season hers Monday with s right-handed

tch. Clark Griffith, owner of Wash- ington Senators, brought this iii- telligence to reporters today after presenting the President with a pass to ail American League games. He said "the President promised to be on hand for Monday's open- ing game with New York Yankees." "He told me he was going to

pitch right-handed this year" Griffith added.

Truman usually throws left- handed. but. as presidential

pitchers go. is pretty good with

either hand. He fooled phcw- graphers last year with s toss from the right.

In preparation for that series the locals are nowniaking efforts to tackle Mt. Allison's Varsity squad at Sackville in an exhibit- ion game next Saturday night.
